St Lucia Kindy:
At St Lucia Kindy, we believe that children learn best when they are engaged in active, child-led play. Our educators provide an inviting yet challenging environment that offers opportunities for learning across a wide range of areas in our well-resourced classrooms and large natural outdoor areas.
Our key focus is on building secure and respectful relationships with all children and families.
Located close to UQ, many of our families have international backgrounds. We are proud to have such a wonderful diverse community and celebrate the many cultures and languages of our families.
Tours and enquiries are welcome!

We are excited to announce we have implemented a Nature Play Excursion program at St Lucia Kindy, which means our Kindergarten groups attend regular excursions to our local reserve. We trialled this in two groups in 2021, and are extending our excursions in 2022 to include all of our Kindy groups. Our trial was a fantastic success with children safely and happily engaged in play and learning within nature. We are so lucky to have a beautiful natural reserve so close to our Kindy.
